josh Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Kadri going to the isle would have given them a 2-month cup window. They’re so old as it is. calgary is whatever. They need a name, but he’s going to get beat the fuck up by the Canadian media again. Even worse if this is a big AAV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isles havent done anything to show Barzal that they want to win, which means Barzal may jet after the season. Kadri 7 years/$7 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 7x$7 for a 31 year old, woof. Who said he'd top out at $5.5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) Contract should be created so the last 2 or 3 years are easier to be bought out. Glad this one is finally done though, and it doesn't really affect us very much unless we play them in the finals!

Sod16 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Quote from poster on an Islanders board: "guess I'll cancel my Kadri fisherman pre-order" Weren't all of bloggers saying that John Spano had signed Kadri and the contract was in the drawer?

Patrick Bateman Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Cool to see the Flames bounceback from a potentially disaster offseason. Some long term on these deals but they’re showing some good loyalty to the fans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooksBurner Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) The deal isn’t that bad. I think the AAV is lower than most thought Kadri would get pre-free agency. However, if I was a Flames fan, I’d probably be a bit unthrilled with the future being mortgaged on Huberdeau and Kadri. They have basically created a 3 year window or so and their team isn’t really any better on paper with them plus Weegar than with Gaudreau and Tkachuk. I would have preferred a young players/picks haul from a Tkachuk deal, an eventual Lindholm trade, and a rebuild.

Maybe on paper they arent AS good as they were but Huberdeau will be good for them. and Weager is a VERY good defenseman. I think they are still capable of going somewhere in the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slobberknocker Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 agreed. the gm really turned potential chicken shit into chicken salad this summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren't kidding; disastrous but did the best he could with the situation. And honestly, probably better than a lot of others could have given the situation. Calgary isnt NY; not everyone wants to play there (obviously). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 They've always made the most sense the moment they traded Tkachuck, and really after they lost Gaudreau. Glad he's not with the Isles, too. I love watching them catch nothing but Ls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going into the summer, I don't think they expected to lose Gaudreau and Tkachuck back to back like they did. When they did it was like getting hit by a sniper deep in it battlefield. They not only survived but managed to field dress the wound well enough to keep fighting. All in all, it's a pretty big win, even if they're not as strong or healthy as they were before. Plus, let's be realistic. They weren't tearing it down after just investing in Markstrom, plus, after they just made the semi finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonybologna Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Always happy to see the Islanders and Islander fans suffer. But as a Long Island native and a now Queens resident, should I be offended no one wants to go there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get all of that, and it’s somewhat impressive Treliving was able to land who he did given it’s Calgary…but it’s a significant shift at the top. It’s pretty unlikely to work and the commitments are incredibly long so it will inevitably delay any kind of real rebuild. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
